Conferences

Low Intensity CBT: Faces and Facets of Practice

Special Hybrid Event: Imperial College and online

Huxley Building, Lecture Theatre 308, Wednesday 20 July 2022

The day before this year’s Annual Conference at Imperial College, London we are running a special event for all professionals who deliver Low Intensity psychological interventions. The day will bring together Low Intensity workers across all the four home nations and will consider important topics such training, therapist wellbeing, emerging and established roles and practices, and effective engagement with diverse communities.

The morning will have a focus on the value of Low Intensity CBT interventions with discussion of practitioner wellbeing. The afternoon sessions will capture the variety of emerging Low Intensity roles and consider how Low Intensity CBT can be adapted to meet the needs of people with intersecting identities and diverse experience and needs, using the BABCP BAME Positive Practice Guide as a template and guide.
